I like the Default (unspecified) fonts*↑***100% bold but I partly question why we'd use a character at all rather than an SVG graphic we have more control over. It certainly seems overkill to use webfonts for this unless we're using an iconfont.
If this is done, it needs to be implemented in a cross-browser way (including very old browsers since referencing is critical). Older browsers (e.g. even IE 8) don't support SVG img tags.
Maybe it could be a background-image (we have a fallback mixin already), but it needs to be clickable.
It could just be a PNG img (with SVG in the source code), but I'd also be interested in seeing whether the up arrow character has good enough support now, before using an image.
